Changing Associated Properties
Properties can be linked to a contract either directly or via spend entries. If you add a spend for a property, it's automatically linked to the contract. Properties with spend entries can't be removed unless all related spends are deleted. However, directly linked properties remain associated even if spends are removed.
- Select Properties, then Edit Properties.
- Select an existing property from the list to associate it with the contract.
- To add a new property, click Add Property, enter the property name, then choose:
- Save, or
- Save and Add Another.
- When you're done, click Save Properties to apply your changes.
